Chapter one : the confession

Rory Gilmore and her mom were sitting on the steps of the gazebo in the middle of their beloved Stars Hollow. Rory was breathing deeply. She had a very important issue to tell her mom. This is not how she had pictured her life turning out; 32, single, jobless if you don't count the unpaid position she held at the Stars Hollow Gazette, and about to deliver some news that would change the course of her life completely. Meanwhile Lorelai was searching her daughter's face, noting the trace of worry and fear in it. Whilst Lorelai hadn't told her, she was slightly upset with some of Rory's life choices, she felt it within herself. She didn't raise a daughter who slept with married or engaged men, but Logan was always Rory's weakness.

"Mom"
"Yeah"
"I'm pregnant"

"What?" Lorelai responded confused.
"I'm pregnant mom." Rory said again whilst starting to cry. Her mom instinctively pulled her into a hug.
"Babe…" Lorelai said looking her daughter straight in the eyes "Is it Logan's…?" she asks whilst remembering the one night stand with the Wookie certain that was too long ago for the dates to match up, but desperate for some hope that her only child wouldn't have to face the struggle she herself faced in being involved in such a society scandal.

"Yeah, " Rory says with a sigh "Mom, what am I going to do?"
"First, have you told him?" Lorelai says trying to keep herself calm enough to help her child through this life changing time. Rory simply shook her head in reply.
"I just found out this morning. You're the first one I've told. I'm scared mom. Grandma is going to be so mad."
"No she's not sweets. Let's go home, we can start planning everything. Starting by phoning Logan and telling him, so that together you can work out what you're going to do." Lorelai says being the voice of reason, she takes Rory's hand in hers.

"It's going to be ok; I'll get Luke to bring us burgers and fries." Rory nods and the pair stand and head home.

Whilst they made the short journey home Lorelai sent a quick text to Luke who thankfully had decided to finally embrace technology in recent years.
'Hey babe. Can you bring 2 large burgers and fries with everything on. Got a massive Rory emergency.'
Luke replied saying he would be home soon and he would bring food.

As the girls entered the house, Lorelai sighed internally. How had her daughter done this? She led Rory to the couch so they could sit down and begin to formulate a plan Minutes later they heard the back door open and Luke walk in..
"Girls, I'm home and I have food." he calls as he enters the living room. He places the bags on the table and Lorelai silently unpacks it.
"Are you going to phone Logan?" Lorelai asks her daughter, picking up a fry and eating it.
"What's going on?" Luke asks concerned. Lorelai glances at Rory silently assessing the situation "Are you going to tell him my little loin fruit or am I?"
Luke looks at Rory, who once again is taking deep breaths and crying silently.
"I'm pregnant… with Logan's baby" Rory said quietly.
"Did he hurt you?!" Luke says
"No, I'm just nervous to tell him." Rory whispers.
"He needs to know, remember what I went through with April all because I didn't know about her." Luke says softly.
"I know he deserves to know, and I wouldn't keep this from him, but what if he doesn't want to know? What if he doesn't want to be involved?" Rory asks quietly getting to the real root of her anxiety.
"If Logan won't step up, it will still be fine. You have us and your grandma." Lorelai says.
"Of course we will support you, no matter what happens" Luke says whilst Lorelai passes Rory her phone.

Rory gingerly takes her phone from her mom. "What if he's mad?" she whispers. Luke looks up at Rory. "It doesn't matter, we will deal with whatever reaction he has as a family. Your mom and I will help you along the way regardless of what Logan says" Rory nods gratefully as she dials Logan's number.

"Huntzburger." He answers curtly after a few rings.
"Logan? It's Rory." She says softly whilst remembering the way they had left things when they last conversed.
"I'm busy Ace. What do you want?" he snaps and she pales at his tone.
"Logan. This is really serious I really need to talk to you" she says back.
"Then talk." He snaps again.
"I'm pregnant" she whispers.
"What?" He says softer this time after a few minutes of silence.
"I'm having a baby Logan. Our baby. A half Gilmore, half Huntzburger baby. "
"Can you meet me?" Logan asks quickly. "I am actually in Hartford this week for a board meeting, say half an hour?"
"Sure Logan. There's that pub round the corner from my grandparent's house." She replies.
"I know the one. I can be there in half an hour" Logan replies.
" Ok, I will see you then.." Rory says. "Thank you Logan" She adds with a tear in her eye.
"No worries Ace. See you soon" Logan says and hangs up.

Rory looks at her mom and Luke. "We are going to meet and talk face to face, he is in the states, Hartford actually, for a board meeting. I am heading there now to meet him." She tells them. "That's a good idea" Luke replies. "Well done sweets. I know that must have been hard, I am proud of you." Lorelai says whilst Rory stands and gets ready to leave. She finds her keys and after hugging her mom and Luke she drives to Hartford to hopefully find out what the future holds for her, Logan, and their baby.

Rory pulls up at the pub, she looks around but doesn't see Logan's car anywhere so she decides to wait inside. Logan's driver pulls up five minutes later, he sees Rory's car so tells the driver to park next to it and heads inside. He finds her sitting at a corner table, she stands as he approaches and they briefly hug.
"Do you want a drink?" she asks "I just ordered a ginger ale."
"No thanks" He replies. "So…. You're having a baby?" he asks.
"No Logan, we are having a baby." She replies.
"How far along are you?" He asks ignoring her correction.
"I would guess about 10 weeks. The baby, our baby, was conceived the night of the life and death brigade surprise." she says.
"What are you doing?" He asks her. "I'm keeping it if that's what you mean." She replies as she softly sips on her drink. Logan nods in response.
"Who else knows?" he asks.
"My mom and Luke." Rory replies. "I'm planning on telling my grandma once you and I have decided what's going on" She tells him honestly. "What do you want to do Logan? Honestly?"
"I don't know Rory. I mean this is such a shock! You walked away, we were supposed to be done. I have been trying to move on. I have to think of Odette now too, you made it clear you didn't see a future for us so I made a promise to her that she is my future no matter what happened in my past and I want to honour that promise. We are getting married next week Ace. I don't know how she will feel about me taking on a child." He says softly.
"TAKING ON!" Rory snaps. "This baby is yours!" she gets more upset the more she replies. "You don't take on your own child! You love your child! You CARE for your child! You support, cherish and build a relationship with your child Logan." she finishes, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry Rory" Logan says "My dad has made it clear, in the pre-nup I signed, that if I have a child out of wedlock I will be disowned and I'll lose my shares in the business and the child won't be a Huntzburger heir which I know you would prefer anyway, but it means they lose out on any inheritance that is rightfully theirs." Logan responds and Rory sighs.
"I'm telling you now Logan, if you choose not to support your child, and I do not mean just financially support I mean emotionally and in any other way they may need, or choose not to have a relationship with them we're done. You won't get a second chance Logan, I am serious! I'm will not allow my child to long for their father like I did. So you are either all in, visits and co-parenting, the whole lot or you are out. You will get nothing. No visits, no updates, no pictures, no Christmas cards. Nothing! It's your choice Logan, but you only get to make it once." Rory says sternly. "You can't expect me to decide right now, I will need to talk to Odette." Logan replies. Rory shakes her head and hands him a piece of paper .
"This is the time, date, and location of my first appointment; I set it up on the way here. This is when where we get the first picture of our baby, and find out the due date. The deal is simple. If you turn up, you're accepting the conditions of being all in and involved with our child and you will leave the appointment with the first picture and potential birthday of the baby. . If you don't turn up you're out and we are done. Do you understand?" Rory says wishing Logan would just make his mind up now. Logan nodded, pocketed the paper and left without saying another word. She sighed and wiped a stray tear away, that was a lot harder then she had hoped.

She pulled her phone out and sent a text to her mom.
' 'Logan didn't take it very well. Going to see grandma whilst in the area. Tell you everything later.' Rory paid the bill and headed towards her car. She prayed her grandma would take the news better than her ex. She couldn't help but let a few tears escape as she drove to her grandma's house. Once she had parked she straightened herself out, headed to the door and rang the bell. Emily answered "Hello Rory" She says cheerfully. "I wasn't expecting you was I?"
"Hi Grandma. No you weren't expecting me. I've come round because I need to tell you something." Rory replies as Emily lets her in. The ladies make their way to the living room.
"Are you ok? Have you and your mother had another fight?" Emily asks as they sit.
"No, we are fine Grandma." Rory says before taking a deep breath and looking at her grandma carefully. "I've come to tell you that I'm pregnant….."
